The Concept of the Demonic Sect, the Star-Attracting Great Art!

"No inner strength? That's easy!"

Guo Furong said, gently grasping Xiao Duanduan's hand and channeling a trace of inner strength into her. Instantly, Xiao Duanduan felt a warm current... flowing from Guo Furong's palm.

« Received energy transfer. Inner strength restored, with a slight increase. »

"My inner strength has recovered!"

Xiao Duanduan tried to perform Stepping on Snow to Find Plum Blossoms again. With a light leap, she landed on the roof. With another leap, she returned to the courtyard.

"I really learned it!"

Seeing this, Guo Furong and Bai Zhantang were deeply demoralized. Although she hadn't performed the Surging Wave Palm, this Qinggong alone was enough to prove the little girl's martial arts talent! Thinking back to their own training, they had endured countless hardships to practice martial arts! How could it be so simple for this little girl!

Xiao Duanduan's eyes sparkled. There was actually a trick like energy transfer! If she could find a few more people to transfer energy to her, wouldn't she become overpowered instantly?

"What are you thinking? Imparting energy depletes our cultivation. Fortunately, it was only a trace, so it didn't affect much."

Guo Furong seemed to read Xiao Duanduan's smug thoughts and rolled her eyes.

"Energy absorption?!"

The two of them jumped up, looking at Xiao Duanduan with strange expressions. This Star-Attracting Great Art was a method of the Demonic Sect!

"Are you two... alright?"

Xiao Duanduan was a bit puzzled. Why did these two have such a massive reaction!

"Speaking of energy absorption, we must mention an extremely evil sect in the Jianghu that strikes terror into people's hearts at the mere mention of its name—the Demonic Sect!"

Bai Zhantang said mysteriously, lowering his voice significantly at the end.

"Extremely evil, striking terror at its name, the Demonic Sect?"

Xiao Duanduan was temporarily overwhelmed by too much information. However, she keenly realized that the Demonic Sect Bai Zhantang spoke of was definitely not simple. Very likely, this was another breakthrough point that could refresh her understanding of this world!

"Exactly. I told you about the righteous sects last time. The Demonic Sect I'm talking about today is completely opposite to the righteous path—their sworn enemy!"

"The sworn enemy of the righteous path? The Demonic Sect?"

Xiao Duanduan was stunned. There was actually such a sect?

"The Demonic Sect in our Great Ming is divided into the Western Demonic Sect, the Sun Moon Holy Sect, the Ming Sect, and the Demon Gate passed down from the Great Sui. Because they act in extremely evil and bizarre ways, wiping out entire families at the slightest provocation, they once caused a bloodbath in the Jianghu!"

"As for the Demonic Sect, everyone wants to eradicate them. Even a slight association with them will bring public scorn!"

Bai Zhantang kept introducing, even putting on a melancholic expression.

"Sigh, just take Old Bai's words with a grain of salt. The Jianghu is treacherous; the division between righteous and evil cannot be explained in just a few words."

Guo Furong acted like an experienced wanderer of the Jianghu, speaking frankly.

"There are bad people among the righteous, and good people within the Demonic Sect. Kid, when you roam the Jianghu in the future, remember to keep your eyes wide open!"

Xiao Duanduan nodded half-understandingly, gaining some knowledge about this Demon Gate.

"Wait, you two still haven't explained what absorbing other people's inner strength has to do with the Demonic Sect?"

The two of them talked for a long time. Although they revealed a lot of information, they still hadn't gotten to the main point.

"Of course there's a connection!"

Bai Zhantang pushed Guo Furong aside and continued, "The former Cult Leader of the Sun Moon Holy Sect was named Ren Woxing. The martial art he practiced was the Star-Attracting Great Art!"

"It can absorb the inner strength that others have painstakingly cultivated for their own use!"

Xiao Duanduan's eyes instantly lit up. There was actually such a domineering martial art! No need to train hard herself, she could directly absorb others' martial arts?

"Imagine painstakingly practicing martial arts for years, only to have it suddenly sucked away by someone else. What kind of pain and despair would that be!"

"How evil is such a martial art!"

Hearing Bai Zhantang's words, Xiao Duanduan couldn't help but nod. If her meager inner strength were sucked away, even if it wasn't that painful, it would definitely be highly uncomfortable.

"Therefore, any martial art that can absorb another's cultivation is considered heretical and evil. Once it appears, everyone will hunt them down. Don't even think about taking shortcuts!"

Guo Furong added, noticing that Xiao Duanduan's gaze seemed a bit off.
